Images from the Suburban Snapper workshop made with the first year architecture students of Oxford Brookes University. Many thanks to the 14 teams, the 7 tutors and suburban residents of Warneford for making this mini experiment possible! Results to follow in the nexts days..

The I Box was the beginning of an investigation into the potential of the Cabin. The inside walls were painted with chalkboard paint to allow people to write messages and draw pictures inside. The outside was activated with the throwing of paint bombs, covering the white facade with splashes of colour.

Placed in the small Cambridgeshire village of Southoe in the summer of 2002, the “cabin” as known by locals has been through a lot. After 7 years, it had been graffitied, set alight, its windows and doors smashed and subsequently taken away, been used as a drugs den, rubbish tip and public toilet.

Still working on the Colour in City poster, hoping it will be ready in about a weeks time! The idea will be print the poster at A0 size and put it up on the street along with some crayons for people to colour in as they want. Still lots to do though, missing all the people!!
